Had a string of games yesterday where I got owned, sometimes through bad luck, sometimes through my own dumb fault. In the second to last, I was downed and insta-burned after downing and burning someone else. My partner couldn't get to me in time, and I died. Oh well. Just out of curiosity, I stuck around to see who won- and then the enemy Hunter started talking to him. They had a little back and forth, "Oh, I didn't burn your buddy. Why'd you have to burn mine?" "Hey man, go burn him, I don't give a poo poo." After a few minutes of this, the enemy suggested he just take the downed bounty and leave, asking if he was going to go after the boss being banished just to the north. He said he was. The enemy Hunter floated the idea of a partnership, and my partner accepted. Cautiously, they both came out of cover, then hashed out a quick plan to attack the Healing Waters Church. Literally the second the enemy Hunter turned around to run, he shot him in the back from five feet away with a Spectre.

Ended breaking my "gently caress early access" rule and bought this game after being peer pressured by friends I introduced it to during the free weekend. And also because I like it a lot. Looking at the roadmap, my one cause for concern is that they're planning on introducing a crafting system. Is there any info on this yet?

Not anything concrete, I assume it's just generic components so you can turn your regular weapons into different versions of them which would otherwise cost money. (i.e. add bayonet, scope, etc.)

dogstile posted:This is the only reason i'd get this game, tbh. I had another, similar story. I had a game where I got my favorite kind of partner; someone with a microphone who loved to talk. He was chill as hell, sounding kind of like discount Steve Blum, and we just went back and forth the entire time we were walking around the bush. We missed one bounty, but another was downed halfway across the map, and we legged it through the foggy swamp in pursuit. The boss had spawned in that one tall, central building at Alain & Sons, and as we approached, we heard the enemy team on local VOIP. They were very excited, anxious, and knew we were there. As we approached the building, they spotted us, and we started shooting at them. At the same time, a team that had been lurking on the north side starting shooting at us, and a team on the south side decided to join in the fun. Me and my partner took cover in the railroad tracks that ran alongside the building, too close for the people inside to really shoot at us, and too far for the others to line up a shot without exposing themselves to the people in the building. Everyone was shooting at everyone, explosives going back and forth, the people in the building screaming and laughing about how hosed they were. It was great. After a few minutes, my bounty buddy started engaging the dudes in the building, talking to them. They really liked him, and I can't blame them. Dude was smooth and confident as hell, just chatting away. One of them floated the idea of letting us in and splitting the bounty. His partner was hesitant, but becoming convinced. There was a lull in the gunfire. I took a chance and climbed up a ladder leading to a second story window, relying on the fog for cover. It held long enough for me to sneak up and in, where I scooted around a rusted mill and hid off to the side. My partner was still talking to them, but I hadn't said a single word the entire fight. One came upstairs to check the window I just crawled through, then the other, both standing right next to each other. I slid out on their right and downed the first one with a shotgun blast to the back. His partner, the one that had been brokering the truce, turned, looked at me, and let out this incredible, betrayed GASP! Then I shot him in the chest. When my partner came running in, he said, "I figured out what you were going to do, wanted to keep them distracted for you." Afterwards, one of them messaged me on Steam thinking I was him, telling me how much fun that was. I forwarded my partner's info on to him ( with his permission ) and everyone friended each other on Steam.

I recently had a full stable of level 30+ hunters loaded with good perks went to 0 dudes from some bad games and now boom back at a full roster again of perked out dudes.

You can loot'em, and.. sometimes you get medkits you can't use, seven fusees that don't work, and other fun things. And God help you if you down someone in a busy fight during a night map or in water, because finding them again is a pain in the rear end. Also I just had my... seventh? Bullshit Hive death. Set up on the Slaughterhouse, poking a team inside. Someone shoots at me with a Sparks. I duck back, heal, and... a Hive that's been standing quietly on its grate fort for five minutes and did not aggro at all when I was SHOOTING, decided to attack me. While I was bandaging. My partner got me back up, and we killed the Hive, only we aggro'ed the Hive without LOS behind the cage the first one was standing on. So it killed us both while we were trying to run around the corner to shoot it. Every single Hive death I have is because I aggro'd one through a wall or some dumb poo poo like that and couldn't do anything.

Monsters act dumb as gently caress in this game and it's bad. They have an aggro distance but they don't attack the closet person. They'll just attack whoever, whenever they want. You can annoy a zombie, he'll come shambling after you but then literally the last second he'll decide to go try and fight some other guy further away than you. As a result he doesn't damage the guy it's angry at or the other target it suddenly wants who was too far away to be an actual threat anyway. Likewise, a Hive should go aggro on the dude who just set her off by walking near her. Instead she'll turn your way and send a swarm on you because you're over by the barn a few yards that way and not literally 4 feet away from her. That's her favorite barn, you see. Nobody is allowed in there but her.

I think Hives are a little overcooked at the moment, yeah. Especially for a beginning player who's too gunshy to buy an antidote.

You shouldn't be aggro'ing anything you don't absolutely have to (clue guards). I don't think I've ever brought an antidote shot into a game, unless it was a default loadout and I was too lazy to change. The best way to deal with hives is to either pack a silenced pistol or sneak up on her then charge with a melee weapon. Two knife plunges will take her down, you just have to deal with the poison for a few seconds after. The stronger melee weapons like romero hatchet, bayonets, sabre, and machete, you can take her out without getting poisoned at all. I don't mind leaving hives up, especially around a boss area as they serve as "guards" to zone out possible entry points, same with armoreds.

So I've been having good success with the Mosin Sniper loadout and running solo. Last night I got into a gauntlet match (daytime) and grab the first clue. I then rush toward the Healing Waters church because that steeple is amazing. After looking around for a few minutes some dude starts creeping into the church courtyard on the south side. Easy pickings. His buddy pops out and runs back south, I manage to feather him once before he dances into the bushes back toward ranch. I burn his buddy and loot 50 bucks. It's at this point I realize that the spider is located underneath the church and that my position might not be the best considering 7 players might converge there at some point. I move out to the east where there's one of those little sniper towers south of Stillwater, directly adjacent to a resupply caravan. About 2 minutes later I spot the guy who's friend I burned slowly creeping around the east side of the church wall, glancing up at the steeple. The poor bastard. I can hear a firefight going on at Reeker through all of this. Butcher starts banishing there. By now the butcher has been banished and the guys who were there are B-lining for church. I spot them at extreme range and get a couple of shots off (no kills). They take cover in the structure north of the church which has the kennel / clue sometimes. I can see one dude's head through the mesh window and pop it. He got picked up and they suddenly decide that extracting to the far west is actually what they wanted to do. I waited a while longer after they extracted then I took a trip up to reeker. I find three dead hunters and manage to loot some more cash. This also means I am likely the last person on the map and head back to kill the spider without issue.

Last night I got totally owned and called a stoopid bro by a bro who shot me while I could hear him talking to his bro because I lost track of where he was and voice communication doesn't seem as directional as other sounds do. I'm just above 3k in gold only and running out fast. So these solo jaunts of mine have been pretty unsuccessful for me lately. A few more experiences like the one I mentioned and I might just give up this game for good since I'm pretty bad atm. Is the goon discord active enough to go looking for hillbilly partners in on the regular? I'm weird in that I don't really want to go to the official Hunt discord and LFG's or even play duos with randoms.

The official discord is quite active and easy to find another person. I also have a lot of luck asking matchmaking partners to 'join voice chat #X'. I'd say 50/50. You could also use the in-game chat it can be fun even if everyone can hear.

My nightly round was going great - killed some monsters, got 2 of 3 clues, found the lair first, and caught two other hunters shooting at each other and finished off the survivor. Once the map narrowed down to the spider's location I decided with low health I'd sneak out and extract with my winnings, as I likely wouldn't survive even a grazing shot from anyone/anything. Cue two hellhounds that managed to see me sneaking through the brush from (what I thought was) a safe distance.

I was having a pretty ok game with a rando - got all three clues without either of us firing a shot or losing health, making good time towards the location, everything going great, turn a corner into 5 of those fuckers. We got lair credit, but heard shots approaching from the distance and booked it because dogs gently caress you up.

It's cool that goons are finally getting into this game. I secretly hope the game will get some of the content from the original steampunk/victorian development cycle as Hunt: Monsters of the Gilded Age. I've had a ton of fun with the limited weather and scenarios but it would be cool to see some new monsters and a new map. Video from 2014 when it was 3rd person co-op shooter with a cool witch/ghost boss. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogU9OBIVtrs

I would love to see a possessed hunter boss who has a pistol that he can use for a powerful hit, or lunges at your with his other arm which is a tentacle, claw, or big block of meat ala Prototype. Bonus points to CryTek if he has a cowboy hat.

For what it is worth, I didn't really want to play with randoms either for a time, but then started doing that. Sometimes they suck, but sometimes you meet some decent people. If you get really discouraged, you can always try taking a little vacation until solo mode is added, or only play tiny budget build Hunters for a while.
